How many saddles are used for horizontal storage tanks?
Thread Content
How many saddle supports are needed for an atmospheric pressure horizontal storage tank with a diameter of 3600 mm and a length of 11 m (made of 304 material)? Where can I find this standard?
It is recommended to use 3. HG20583 \"Code for Structural Design of Steel Chemical Vessels\"
Those upstairs, please don’t mislead newcomers. Although I’m also a newcomer, my unit is only 11 meters long, and a dual-saddle setup is completely sufficient for it; it’s very difficult to ensure that the three saddles are all at the same level. In our factory, 16-meter-long oil tanks all use dual saddles – designing, manufacturing, and installing a triple-saddle system is much more complicated
Thank you, haisiran. I was already worried that it would be difficult to determine the correct level at 3 o’clock, and that installation would be troublesome. I plan to use two heavy-duty units
It is best to use two saddles; if the verification fails, the size of the saddles can be adjusted or reinforcing rings can be added to ensure compliance.
Two are possible, but the load is 3020 KN; it’s necessary to calculate whether this load can be handled!
It depends on what the load is
I have worked on equipment with DN5500, 17m double saddle supports, as well as equipment with 8 saddle supports (which are quite long and slender). It mainly depends on whether the equipment itself requires multiple saddle supports; it’s necessary to consider whether the deformation and stress levels of the cylinder are too high
Salute to the 8th floor! Has done 8 saddles, amazing, idol, I learn from you*. How long must an 8-saddle be? ? ? ? Amazing, amazing
Actually, the equipment isn’t that large; its diameter is only three to four hundred millimeters. It’s rather long, about twenty to thirty meters in length, resembling a very long pipe. There’s a beam every three to four meters, forming a span
A diameter of three or four hundred meters isn’t that big, is it? Could you take a photo and send it over? . . .
